That scratching at 3am isn't going away.

Every week you wait, they're chewing through wiring, tearing up insulation, and leaving mess you really don't want to think about. And the noises? They only get worse.

We've been doing this for years. We know what it sounds like, what it smells like, and exactly how to fix it.

“Dexter was amazing.”

“Inspected the place with a fine tooth comb and blocked all entrance points after spending considerable time checking perimeter of the place. On time, real easy to work with and super efficient in addressing the problem. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

The stuff you actually want to know.

Absolutely. We never cage or relocate possums. That actually harms them. We install one-way exit doors so possums leave naturally, then seal all entry points so they can't get back in. The possums simply move to a nearby tree or nesting box. We also donate $20 from every possum job to Wildlife Victoria.

Most jobs take two visits. First visit: inspection, install one-way doors, and begin proofing. We leave the doors for 1-2 weeks to let the possums exit naturally. Second visit: remove the doors, seal the final entry points, and complete the proofing. Start to finish is usually 2-3 weeks.

No deposits, ever. We only ask for payment once the job's done and you're happy with how it's gone.

We offer a 2.5 year warranty on all possum proofing work, the longest in Australia. If a possum gets back into a proofed area during the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Rodent treatments and pest sprays both carry a 6 month warranty.

That's exactly what our warranty covers. If they find a way back in during the warranty period, we return and sort it out, no charge. In our experience, proper proofing rarely fails. We've done 8,000+ jobs and stand behind every one.

Yes. All our pest treatments are safe for pets and kids. We use professional-grade stuff that targets the pests, not your family. We'll let you know if there's anything specific to watch for.

Beyond possum proofing, rodent treatment, and pest sprays, we also do gutter cleaning, dead animal removal, and emergency possum capture (if one gets inside your house). Not sure what you need? Just give us a ring.

Yes, we handle commercial buildings, warehouses, restaurants, and anything in between. Same quality, same warranty. Give us a call to discuss your situation.
